To step outside the world I’ve known,

         Leave it all behind and those whom know me.

                  Off on a great journey to see it all,

  Into the wilderness as if nothing else matters anymore.

                     To try things never tried before,

               Experience life through a new open door.

                      Perhaps a fear of what lies ahead,

                   I trek across the land, survive if i can.

                     See many new things from my eyes,

                        Into the night i hear nature cry.

                   Not expecting never to go home again,

                    Lost in the wild is where my life ends.
